The spelling of the surname keeps changing but
On Richard and Ellen's marriage her father is David Hashey, on the 1911 Census David Hahesy, father in law widower is living with them, born Kilkenny.

And I forgot to add
Ellen born 1877, mother Julia Clifford.

The 1901 David born Waterford and wife Julia are the closest match despite the ages and place of birth change.

... Lasly, from James' military records I can ascertain that Annie was living on Ballyrichard Road at the time of their marriage (1915) to the time Michael O'Shea was born (1919).  Ellen (his mother) was living, what looks like Garryrue or Garysue Carrick on Suir.  Does anyone recognise this as a place in Carrcik?


I realise that this is an old topic, but from doing a bit of digging in another unrelated topic, I found a reasonable possibility on the specific point of the whereabouts of 'Garryrue' in Carrick on Suir, so thought that I might as well post it for future readers. 

In the other topic, there was mention of 'Garryrue' and 'Garry Rue Lane' and a place name called 'Red Garden' in Carrick on Suir.  The following item from the 'The School's Collection' of folklore and local tradition compiled by pupils in Irish schools between 1937 and 1939 appears to explain matters:

Garry Ruadh:-
This part of Carrick is situated to the north of Town Wall. It is a large uncultivated patch of earth. When the Summertime comes the place is filled up with wild red poppies. Hence the name Red Garden or Garry Ruadh.

(I'm wondering... maybe derived from garraí = garden/field, ruadh = red?)
